Seeking Participants for UCLA Research Study
on Long-Term Care
What is the purpose of the research? To learn about...
1. experiences between gay and lesbian (or non- heterosexual) older
adults and long-term care providers and
2. ideas about how long-term care providers can be responsive to lesbian
and gay older people.
Who can participate? Men who are at least 50 years old, have had
contact with long-term care providers, and EITHER:
• Identify as gay, OR BOTH
• have had only male sex partners over the past 20 years
• are only attracted to men
What does participation involve? If you volunteer for this study you will
be asked to participate in a one-on-one interview in which you will answer
questions about your experience of long-term care providers and ideas
about what it means for long-term care providers to be responsive to
lesbian and gay older adults. You will also be asked to provide feedback on
the researcher’s analysis at a later date. You will be able to withdraw from
the study at any time with no penalty. Each participant will receive $40. You
do NOT need to travel to UCLA to participate.
